About the Awards
Eligibility, Costs, and other Details
Submissions
This year’s contest will again feature digital submissions for everyone’s convenience. You can submit PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, GIF, PNG, or JPG files and URLs for online, video, or audio content directly to the online system. The system will also allow you to pay entry fees. The Awards contest is only open to institutions who pay their TCPRA annual membership dues.
Who Can Enter?
Entries are limited to creative efforts developed by or on behalf of a Tennessee higher education institution or an educational agency. Entries must be submitted by the eligible institution or agency. Entries MUST be from member institutions. Membership is available from our membership page.
What is Eligible?
There are 42 categories in five categories: advertising, public relations/media relations, writing, publications, electronic and digital media, and overall promotional campaign. Entries must have been published, broadcast, or used for the first time between April 1, 2025, and March 31, 2026. There is no limit to the number of entries an institution may submit within a category. Each entry will be evaluated against others in the same category, and judging will be based on overall creativity of the piece, marketing execution and impact of message.
Who is Judging?
To avoid any conflict of interest, entries will be judged by outside advertising, marketing, or public relations professionals. In some cases, judges may opt to name fewer than three winners per category. Judges also reserve the right to not name a winner if there is only one entry in the category.
How Do We Submit?
Submissions will be made through the same Judgify platform we have been using.
